Crumpled and Unfolded

I don't know how to feel
I don't feel well
If it is an illness
I can't tell

As if it were all for nothing
I flew but then i fell
I climbed the highest mountain
And dragged along my shell

I don't know how to feel
I don't feel well
My nerves are all but rotten
Horribly forgotten

As if it all were nothin'
While I'm sitting to prevail
Like a nomadic crab,
Inside my shell

I've never felt so free
Within my confines
I've never felt before
It seems, this time

I've never felt so caged
Dying for the open
I've never been so strange
Crumpled and unfolded

I never felt the nerves
But reaching in i do
And now i know i feel
Lied to

Because i feel the truth
I sleep now awoken
One must have a heart
To hold one broken
